Having Sticky Problems? Let’s Figure It Out Together!
Making truffles can be tricky if you’re not used to working with chocolate. Here are a few tips to help you troubleshoot common sticky situations:
- Chocolate Too Soft: If your chocolate is too soft, try refrigerating the mixture for a few minutes before rolling it into balls.
- Chocolate Too Hard: If your chocolate is too hard, add a small amount of melted butter or cream to soften it up.
- Difficulty Shaping Truffles: If you’re having trouble shaping the truffles, try using your hands to roll them instead of spoons.

Chocolate Truffles:
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Peanut Butter Truffles:
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Caramel Truffles (for molds):
- 1 1/2 cup white candy melts
- 1/3 cup caramel sauce
- gel food coloring red, green, and blue
For Dipping and Decoration:
- 1 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips for dipping
- 1/4 cup white candy melts for drizzle
- gel food coloring yellow
Instructions
Chocolate Truffles:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup dark chocolate chips with 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Stir in 1/4 cup cocoa powder until the mixture thickens into a dough. Chill for 30 minutes.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls.You should be able to form 7-8 truffles. Chill again while preparing the peanut butter truffles.
Peanut Butter Truffles:
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup peanut butter, 2 tablespoons softened butter, and 1/2 cup powdered sugar. Mix until smooth and firm enough to handle.
- Roll into 1-inch balls (makes about 5-6). Chill for 20 minutes.
Dip and Decorate:
- Once the truffles have chilled, it is time to dip them in chocolate.
- Melt 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl until smooth.
- Dip each truffle, fully coating them, and place on parchment paper. Chill until set.
- Melt 1/4 cup white candy melts and tint with several drops of yellow food coloring.
- Drizzle the yellow-tinted white chocolate over the dipped truffles using a spoon or piping bag. Add a different design for the fudge and peanut butter truffles to make them easy to tell apart.
- Place back in the refrigerator to set until ready to serve.
Caramel Candies:
- Melt 1/2 cup of white candy melts with a few drops of red food coloring in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth. Repeat with green and blue for the other portions.
- Using a candy mold, coat the interior of each cavity with a thin layer of melted colored white chocolate (rotate between pink, green, and blue).Note: You want 6 candies for each color. Chill molds for 5 minutes.
- Fill each cavity halfway with caramel sauce, then seal with more melted candy melts to encase the filling. Chill molds for 20 minutes, or until fully set.
- Once the candy has hardened remove the mold and serve.
Notes
- Refrigerate all truffles in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
- Store caramel truffles in a single layer to avoid damaging the shells.
- If necessary, freeze the caramel candies before sealing for 15-20 minutes to allow the caramel to firm up.
- To keep the melted chocolate and candy melts from hardening while you work with them, place the bowls in a shallow dish of boiling water. This will keep the chocolate warm while you work.
- If the water cools, just replace the water with fresh hot water.
